February 24, 2014 Raner Collins, Chief Judge, Evo A. DeConcini Courthouse 405 West Congress Street, Suite 5190 Tucson, AZ 85701-5051 Re: Violations of FRCP Rule 16 in Warden v. Tucson City Officials. Dear Judge Collins: This is the second of a series of public letters to apprise you, and the public, of federal judges committing serious violations of law in the Arizona District Court. F.R.C.P. Rule 16, which requires the Court to issue a scheduling order within 120 days of service of complaint, was written to improve the quality of the trial through more thorough preparation, avoid wasteful pretrial activities, and protect litigants such as myself from endless delays and obstructionist tactics. Nevertheless; even though I had my case served on November 22, 2011, Judges Jorgenson, Bury and Velasco violated the express language of Rule 16 to deny me discovery, exhaust my resources and protect Tucson City Defendants. Frankly speaking; the Courts two year violation of Rule 16 is no less than (a) travesty of justice which threatens to destroy the confidence of the American people in the entire judicial process. In a recent article Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts warned that without more restored funding to the federal courts, the future would be bleak for Americas judiciary which undermines the publics confidence in all three branches of government1 Regarding public confidence, Judge Roberts warning inspires this response: How can the courts expect the public to respect the law when federal judges show such contempt for it?
